| Abstract: |
| The field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of maize‖potato intercropping on drought resistance in the Agricultural Technology Demonstration Base of Xuanwei city in 2014. The treatments include: T1, maize + ditching + polythene mulch intercropping with potato; T2, maize + pitting + polythene mulch intercropping with potato; T3, maize + polythene mulch intercropping with potato; T4, maize monoculture with polythene; T5, potato monoculture. The results showed that mean soil moisture of treatment T1 and T2 in maize field were higher than that of treatment T4, as increased by 28.32% in 0～7.6 cm soil layer and 28.12% in 0～20 cm soil layer respectively. Soil moisture of treatment T1 and T2 in potato field were increased by 23.52% in 0～7.6 cm soil layer and 12.78% in 0～20 cm soil layer compared with treatment T5. Treatment T1 and T2 significantly increased the yield of maize and land equivalent ratio(LER) than treatment T3, the LER of T2(LER=1.20) was 10.52% higher than T3. |
